[leadfoot]

I am about to receive my first pin drive wheels and I am somewhat apprehensive. I have heard loud and clear to use safety wire and a lead hammer. I would like to ask if anyone could add other helpful hints you have learned along the way...

Such as??
- Should the tires be off the ground , partially on jack, or on the ground when putting the wheel on?
- Do the knock-off sockets work to aid removal and tightening?
- Should I always travel with a knock off spare?
- Where to drill the knock-off
- How much slack in the wire
- Do you check wheels before each ride?
- Am I overly neurotic?
